Ode- Things Have Fallen Apart (in Memory Of Chinua Achebe) by DaDevin: 3:33pm On Jun 04, 2013 |
Silence a tool for fools Yet it fell apart upon foolish fools Did Thou not see tomorrow? Did thou not speak of greaver sorrow? How your words fell upon the deaf Before your eyes, things fell apart Things you saw and presented in art You saw greed, you saw envy, you saw lust you saw as they beclouded as dust You saw them all as one never apart Things you saw before it fell apart For all is one - corruption Things has fallen apart Even unto your death it stood apart
